define-syntax vs define-macro

Name: Anonymous 2017-12-12 22:14

What is the point of define-syntax if define-macro exists?
Sure, the pattern matching of syntax-rules is fun and all but it can easily be implemented on top of normal macros too.

I think that syntax-based macros suck, they add useless complexity without giving anything back.

You get hygiene for free without messing with gensyms.
